A model floats inside a transparent bubble in Paris, 1963, as a fire-breather exhales flames below—an otherworldly vision that merges fashion, fantasy, and surreal street theater.

Photographed by American artist Melvin Sokolsky, this striking image titled Le Dragon was part of his legendary “Bubble Series,” created for Harper’s Bazaar, which redefined the boundaries between fashion photography and fine art.

Did you know? Melvin Sokolsky (1933–2022) was just 21 when he began working for Harper’s Bazaar, later revolutionizing editorial photography with dreamlike imagery that defied conventional studio limits and embraced avant-garde experimentation.
